Public radio must not be funded by taxpayer any longer

[Conan The Librarian]

I check the news from a variety of sources, and I must say that NPR has got some serious problems. For some confirmation of this, check out their web site at npr.org and go to any political story. Read the reader comments and note that that this is nothing more than a forum for strongly left leaning people. There's nothing wrong with that, in itself. But the public money that is given to it is what makes it profitable. We should not be paying for a politically partisan broadcast organization. That is right out of 1984 and the Communist propaganda era.

I love many of the programs on NPR and my public radio station (KERA Dallas-Ft. Worth).  You can't get those kinds of stories anywhere else in radio.  However, their left leaning slant to mainstream news is what keeps me from being a paying member.  It's funny, I've even heard them incredulously address these accusations on air.  They've been left for so long they think center is right and right is extremist.

Curtis: that is what happened to me. I used to be a $100 a year member back when $100 was worth a lot more than today, but I quit giving them money specifically and only because of the political partisanship.
